About this listen

 In Stanton White, Northern narrator Harold Edson embarks on a journey to the American South alongside his college friend, Stanton White, to delve into the social realities faced by African Americans in the aftermath of the Reconstruction era. As Edson recounts his experiences, he encounters the stark and often brutal racism of white Southerners, revealing a disturbing and unapologetic mindset. This narrative offers a glimpse into the primitive racial attitudes that dominated 19th century America, both North and South of the Mason-Dixon line. While some of the themes may seem shocking to a 21st-century audience, they resonate with ongoing issues of race that continue to shape our society today. (Summary by James K.
